Does this Yukata have an Obi?

Question:


http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View…

My mom and sister say that the picture HAS an Obi, the stupid ribbon tied around it.
Is it one? They already bought it, so it's too late. But I need an Obi with it, or else it won't stay up.
They say that the ribbon and thing around the waist IS an obi. Um, yeah. Okay.

Is it one? Thanks.

Answer:


First of all, 99% of the Japanese can tell that this is not made in Japan: probably in China. We never use this poisonous and shiny color for yukata. This looks more like a Chinese dress than Japanese yukata.
Obi is a very important part of yukata; if the seller was a Japanese, a description of obi should be written. I don't think an obi comes with this one. Anyway, you are lucky that you did not buy this one. Japanese yukata looks totally different from this one.
